SOME QUEER NEIGHBORS A palace often overlooks a hovel. Sometimes only a few feet of ground, called a street, lie between extreme wealth and extreme poverty. A brick wall, and sometimes a thin wooden one, is all that separates the home of the pure from that of the impure. Very near neighbors are often very unlike sorts of people. As in the world of men and women se as it in the world of mind

Positively Two Nights Only. wiKBWi'jo swirfiDic.mni and morals. Very great virtues are often

very near neighbors to faults or vices as great. In fact many of the good and pleasant qualities of men and women need only a little change in degree, or a little change in thd circumstances in which they manifest themselves, to make them very disagreeable qualities.

Caution is very near neighbor to Cowardice. The man who looks upon all sides of a subject, and never moves, or advises a movement, until he is perfectly sure of success, is invaluable as an advisor—sometimes, and sometimes he is the last man to whom to go for advice. If the matter in hand is one in which a mistaken movement would be worse than no effort at all, or one in which no risk should be incurred, then the very cautions man is a good counsellor. But, on the other hand, many of the very best things ever attempted or accomplished in this world, have been undertaken where there was very great risk It required courage, and nothing worst could have be&llen tbo cause than an over cautions counsellor. Ilis caution would have been cowardice, and it would have prevented success. There are many times when a blunder is better than no effort at ail. In fact the great blunder of many overcautious people is in never ranning the risk of making a mistaken movement. Hie best things are often the hardest to get, and the most uncertain, and it is sheer coward ice not to try to gat them lest the effort should tail. The world owe* a mighty debt to the blunderers in it. And it is not always easy to tell where wise caution ends And cowardice begins.

Turn it about sad the same holds true of Courage and Rashness. If Sam Patch bad leaped over the foils to rescue drowning child his deed would have been honored for its bravery. As it is his name is sneered at for his rashness. The bold man who is ready to Improve half a chance to seenre a good or noble end, la very near neigl&&r to the one who will rashly risk a!! upon a very small chance. Tbe bold business mm who wlmsooees* te very near neighbor to the rash one wlio j^tdbes headlong into bankruptcy.

The generous man and the spendthrift, the economical sod the nlgardly are ttot&r separated. The, man who is ready to share whatever he has with hi* neighbor, and who listens to every plea for help, is very likely to be as generous with his own wast*, and to Spend for himself with as UtUo can as he gives to

ful disposition needs to be carried but a peg forward to produce a prosy, unsocial, self-absorbed or absent-minded old "stick." Not all who are cheerful border so closely on the domain of silliness, not all girls and boys who carry a constant smile are almost Higglers, but cheerful nees and silly levity, smiles and giggles may be, often are, very near neighbors. Not all sober and earnest ones are almost morose, but the two domains burden on each other so closely that it is easy to pass from one to the other.

The feulta of people wouietimes spring directly from their good qualities, the very qualities which have given them their success or usefulness in the world. A grent deal of untruthfulness comes from hopefulness. Some men are brim full of hope. Real men of flesh and bones are as full of hope te the fictitious Micawber. Unlike this illustrious personage however, this very hopefulness makes them ready for difficult enterprises. They seldom see any danger ol failure, and when they do fail, like old Gen. liylor when he was beaten, they do not know it. No number ef Wlures will ever teach them caution, and often they succeed just on this account. When it comes to money matters these men of great hope are often the worst men in the world to deal with. They have no doubt that when the time comes to make a payment, the money will boat hand. They do not know just where it is coming from, but Hope provides a sooro of favorable chances, and some of them will be sure to bring it. So they promise, and of course when the time comes to fulfil the promise, they foil to make good their word.—By the by tailors and shoe-makers must have hope largely developed.—People will call this lying or cheating, and it does bear a strong resemblance to this, it must be confessed. But the parties had no such intention. They are not willftilly untruthful, and yet it will require more grace than is often bestowed upon ordinary mortals te make such men exactly truthftil. But their untruthful ness and unreliability in business, spring from the very same elements of charac ter which make them bold. enterpriS' ing, and often successful.

Perhaps some people are net so ihor oughly corrupt as they have been reckoned. It becomes those who pass Jpdgment to consider whether the faults of a man are not such as are incidental to the traits in his character which have given the success which he has gained, and the favorable position which he holds among men. If virtues and faults are such near neighbors it is well to exercise a little charity in judging men.

It may serve as a caution, for men to understand that their good qualities by a very slight charge may become bad, the sources of very decided and harmful faults of character or conduct. It is well to watch for our own vices in the direction of what we regard as our good points.

'^2 THE RECENT DECISION. The nearest approach, in many years, to the infamy of the decision in the Dred Scott case, that the "negro has no rights which the white man is bound to respect," is that of Judge Buskirk of this State, that the laws of Indiana concerning public schools are framed with solo reference to white children, and that "therefore colored children are not entitled to admission into public schools provided for white children from which it follows, that they are not entitled to admission to public schools at all unless the authorities choose to provide for them. If one, or a half a dozen colored children in a township desire the advantages of the public schools, either the authorities must get up a separate school for that one or a half doxon, or they be deprived of the privilege of attending schools which the race and parents are taxed to support. If a colored boy or girl desires to eater our high school next year, tbo dty must provide a separato high school for him, or ho bo refused the benefit of the high school. The State must either provide a separate Normal School for colored students, or the halt doten worthy students of that race in our Normal, may bo turned out any day and refused the use of the means to fit them for teacher*.

Now this decision may be based upon the laws ot the State. We have no controversy with Judge Buskirk on that point, for he is presumed to know. Bat it is an outrage upon justice, and, as It seems to us, in direct conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment and It is time the laws of Indiana were made to eonform not only to that Amendment, but to the spirit of times, as they oeriaialy do not If this decision Is wtmOk

GEN. SHSRMAN

RENTS

EDNA DBAX

in New York City hav^ de

clined one-third from what they were three A colored member of Congress elected by the Democrats is one of the novelties of the recent election.

THIS

The case is simply reduced to this, viz: either Edna Dean Proctor, a wo man of unimpeachable character, and not an intimate friend of Beeeher, has committed perjury or Mr. Beoher made a confession to Moulton of a most foul deed which he never committed or Moulton lied. We confess to a full acceptance of the latter alternative. And so endeth the first of the Beecher-Tilton Moulton-Proctor suits.

MR. BEECHEB, despite the annoyance which his suits with Tilton must necessarily give him, maintains an unruffled front, and devotes to his pulpit and prayer meetings just as much attention and brings to both as much vigor and earnestness as though there was no su$ thing as litigation to trouble him. Few men could do this. It is cither an evidence of his belief that he shall come off victorious, or an affectation of indifference which few men could assume Sofne of his recent sermons have attracted marked attention. His oool, calm and thoughtful discourses are in striking coutrast with the fiery ones of Bombastes Furioso Talmage, who has been creating such a sensation by his tilt against actors and actresses.

SOMEBODY very truthfully says that setting a young man afloat with money left him by hissrelatives, is like tying a bladder under the arms of ono who cannot swim ten chances to ono he will lose his bladder and go to the bottom. Teach him to swim and he will not need bladders. Give your child a sound education. See to it that his morals are pure, his mind cultivated and ltis whole nature made subservient to the laws which govern man, and you have given him what will be of more value than the wealth of the Indies. You have given him a start which no misfortune can deprive him of. The earlier you teach him to depend upon his own resources and the blessing of God the better.

ON8 of the questions which has agitated Massachusetts since the election is, whether Professor Seelye, who was elected as an Independent candidate, did or did not spend a three cent postago stamp on his election? And it 1 bean settled that be did not, aa the letter of acceptance, instead of being carried by the mail, was delivered by private individuals and the eav-iope, with the uncancelled stamp, has been returned to him. Something of a contrast between this and spending a fortune over an election, and running all over the state to make speeches snd electioneer for one's self. Is the milleniumat hand? By the way, this Professor Seelye is a Congregational clergyman and a very acceptable preacher as well as Professor.

represents tbs principles embodied in the platform upon which his party gained the victory in the last poliUoal campaign than any of the other candidates far United States Senator, and that therefore, if his party really holds these principles, they should elect him to All that position. We say this much in honesty in order that we may not be misconstrued as having any hostility to Mr. Voorheea when we protest most earnestly against an item appearing In the Journal of lost Tueaday.

In the year 1784, the legislature of Pennsylvania, to abolish a practice then prevailing, passed tha following resolution, after considerable opposition: "Resolved, That hereafter no member shall come into the chamber barefooted, nor eat his bread and cheese on the steps of the capitol." Here most have originated the term "barefooted," ot late years applied to the Democracy.

It really seems no more thani fair that man should know before be goes into court, when aad where it is charged that the offenses against which be is to defend himself were committed. This is all Mr. Beeoher's counsel asked, and they did wisely in pressing this just claim The trial of the case has been postponed until the first Monday in January.

is very sad to be informed by Mrs. Woodhull that, as she cannot lecture to earn the money necessary to run her paper, it must stop, unless friends come to its rescue. We had supposed that publishing obscene literature was profitable pecuniarily. Perhaps hers was a little too bad for the popular taste. The honest fact is that Woodhull and Woodhull ism are about played out, to the credit of the good sense and decency of the American public be it said. Her paper has cost her, she says, a hundred dollars a week beyond its incornc, and, of late, the subscriptions have fallen away onehalf.

THE

Paocroa testifies, under

oath, that there is no truth whatever in the charges that Mr. Beeeher ever treated her in an improper manner, as Moulton says that he, Beeeher, confessed to him that he did. And Moulton agrees to apologize and pay about $5,pOQ to cover the expenses of prosecution.

New York Republic ridiculed the

idea of the assembling of the Forty fourth Congress in March. It takes the responsibility of asserting that if it should convene it would be for no other purpose than to appoint committees of investigation, whose duty it would be to ferret out any wrong that may have been perpetrated by the party in power, in order that the Democrats may be furnished with arguments for the campaign of 1876. It also predicts that the earning Presidential campaign will be one of the moat scurrilous and abusive on record. Now, as 1876 will be Centennial year, and more distinguished strangers will visit the United States than ever before, and as the visit will be just about the time when our political bull-dogs will be in the hottest of the fight, a lair opportunity for seeing how American sovereigns conduct a political campaign will be afforded them. If the predictions of the Republic are verified then visitors will not carry home with them the very exalted opinion of republican governments.

liar charm about them. One may doze over those of internal revenue, though conscious that they have a close connection with that sensitive attachment, the pocket he may grow wild over those of commerce and labor, and actually flee from the contemplation of a census report, but one cannot strike the pension list, with its vast expenditures, without keen interest. The maimed and foiling veterans of our wars, who have marched and fought amid the rigors of winter and the heat of summer, that liberty might be preserved and the honor of the nation sustained, are especial objects of veneration and sympathy. There is no begrudging of the amount the annual budget calls for in this direction, if it is known that it la honestly expended. There is no tightening of purae strings as the figrues of the pension office loom up in their grandeur. They constitute national acknowledgement of the worth of heroism apon the nation's battle fields. To the individual soldier, or bis widower orphans, the sum is trifling it may be bat it is known to them that ltis the freest taxation that te borne, and they accept it with pride and aa an acknowledgement of honor and a reward of bravery. We have now, of all classes of pensions in this country, 236,M1 person*, and the expenditure for them la about $26,250,000 per year. Among thia list are found the names of 410 widows of soldiers of the revolutionary war. ,,

BIQH RENT VS. MARRIAGE. The Hartford Times' New York correspondent says: The chief obstacle to marriage in New York Is high rent. Nearly all the prime neceaaaries of life have declined twenty-five per cent, in the past few years, but rent remains very nearly as high aa it was In 1K79. Young couples accustomed to moderately good living before marriage da not like to set up for themselves in a tenement house bat unless they are well supplied with money they ownnot afford hire a bouse or even half a house in a respectable neighborhood.

So, in the m^ority of casea, they go out aa boarders, and of eourae they tod life anything but a succession of pleasures. Moderately good board carta from 828 to$S8 week for man and wife. The ivnt of a moderately good home would be as much, and the cost of keeping It a good deal more. It Is either life In a boarding house or life in a tenement ttouse for two-thirds of the young couples getting married in Gotham, ana nearly au who can afford the former, in?frit. And in nine cases out often lie wife soon becomes an iqdoient jamsip, very much troubled with "tna rvea,** and generally unfit for anything but to read novels and go out shopping.

THK

"PAPER PREACHERS." A venerable minister, eighty^one. years of age, has written a letter to ther* Presbyterian, in which be speaks of dan of manuscript readers under the title of "Paper Preachers.'* He compared tbo effective preaching of the men of hi» day with modern preaching, and scyn^ that ^he never beard a sermon read from| a manuscript, and thatsinse the younger miniate** have come on the stage her knows not one that can say Jerusalem without the manuscript before liin^''. The Presbyterian remarks:

This is pretty severe, snd perhaps intended to be sn exaggeration of th«v trouble. But there is much truth in it, and we lose power by it, and none haw this feet more frequently forced upon them than the readers of manuscript.! How often does it occur tbst the strengths of the week is spent upon the manuscript, and the minister is compelled, at night to deliver an unwritten discourse, and the neoplo will talk for months over tie latter? We hope that there will be a radical change in the delivery, at least, of sermons, even if they are written.

LIFE'S VICISSITUDES* (New York Sun.] The vicissitudes of life were strikingly illustrated in this city yesterday. About the time that Mayor Havemeyer died his nephew was married to Miss Clara Morris. Aldertnau Vance was made Mayor before the late incumbent's body was cold, and in the evening the newly-elected Mayor, Wm. H. Wickham: was entertained at a dinner In Delmonico's.

is to become ef what used to be

termed the early history of America? Heretofore it has dated back to 1492, the time of the landing of Columbus, but the investigations of scientific men during the last fourth of a century, have developed so much that is important and interesting, that although we have no written history beyond the period namthere is the most indubitable evidence that this continent was not only once inhabited by civilized nations, but that it boasted races of huge animals, now wholly extinct. Prof. Marsh, of Yale College, has just returned from an exploring expedition to the Black Hills, bringing with him two tons of fossil bones, dug out from a stratum belonging geologically to the miosene age. Among these bones are those of the elephant, rhinoceros and other huge beasts now extinctas fur as this country is concerned. As these fossils were found in a latitude where the temperature sometimes foils below sero, it becomes difficult to recondle this feet with the addi tional one that they are the remains of tropical animals.
